Chicago healthcare information technology (HIT) company EMRapproved
is announcing a new affiliation with the Certification Commission for
Health Information Technology (CCHIT®)
that promotes access to its online tools for testing and certification
preparation and its certified product listings. CCHIT is an Accredited
Testing Laboratory (ATL) and an Office of the National Coordinator (ONC)
Authorized Certification Body (ACB) for the purposes of both testing and
certifying electronic health record (EHR) technology in the ONC 2011 and
2014 Edition programs. The Commission has certified more than 1,000 EHR
products since 2006 and is the most experienced EHR technology
certification body in the U.S.

The medical and healthcare community will greatly benefit from the
incorporation of links to CCHIT resources as they research certified
products on the EMRapproved web site. Additionally, a link to "The
Source™" - a web-based collection of CCHIT certification management
services - will promote access to searchable guidance, online
preparation tools, open forums and certification maintenance for
commercial HIT developers working with EMRapproved. CCHIT will also
provide visitors to its web sites with links to the expanded free expert
columns, content and tools provided by EMRapproved.

On March 26 CCHIT will present a free Learning Lunch Webinar at
EMRapproved.com for HIT developers on the topic of changes to the
testing and certification processes. More information and registration
is available at EMRapproved.com.

"Our mutual goal is to assist with the widespread adoption and
acceleration of interoperable HIT. We are pleased to highlight CCHIT on
our web site and appreciate the opportunity to reach their developer and
provider stakeholders and provide access to our extensive content.
Visitors to EMRapproved.com, in particular the numerous HIT developers
and sponsors of our free resources and the 4MedMarketplace, will
certainly benefit from the partnership," said Kevin Donnelly, CEO of
EMRapproved.

"With the launch of ONC's new 2014 Edition testing and certification
program for HIT, there is a growing need for support for both EHR
technology purchasers and developers in understanding the significant
changes in the program," said Sue Reber, CCHIT's outreach and marketing
director. "Our new affiliation with EMRapproved will allow us to reach a
wider audience and provide broader access to our educational tools and
other preparation materials to provide that support."

EMRapproved will exhibit at the HIMSS13 Annual Conference & Exhibition
in New Orleans in booth #7916 to highlight the benefits of its many new
affiliations. Exhibit attendees will not only be able to find CCHIT
certification information but will also be able to register for upcoming
collaborative webinars at EMRapproved.com and become marketplace
sponsors of that organization. Booth interaction opportunities include
on-demand new sponsor signup, site resource demonstrations, side-by-side
product comparisons and more.
